Emmett's First Hair Cut...18 months old basically

We were a little worried about Emmett's first hair cut but felt it was time as he was about to get his 18 month pictures taken. I was assuming that being wrapped in a plastic cape, squirted with water, and attacked with sharp scissors by a stranger would freak him out. But getting his hair trimmed was not hair-raising after all. We went to Sharkeys Cuts for Kids. He got to sit in a car, eat a sucker and got a balloon at the end. Literally all of Emmett's favorites right now.

I will give the stylist a few props — I know she wasn’t working under the most favorable conditions — but, it looks pretty funny…the back is way too high and nothing is straight. After he was given the sucker he never moved so we were hoping for an overall better cut. From a distance its really not that bad I guess.

Do I want it back — Heck ya. I missed that baby look. Even though I knew it would make him look older I was not ready I guess. Right after he got it done, I asked the stylist if she could glue his hair back on. I know it will grow back again. In the meantime, I’ll just smile at the fact that he looks like such a little man now.

You know this Momma took a lot of pictures - well actually most of these pictures were taken by Daddy becuase Momma told him too!
